Scotland's ballads represent one of the highwater marks of Scottish literature and are famous as superb expressions of oral culture, reflecting a world of magic, deep passion and history transformed into legend.This selection includes more than eighty of the finest ballads, together with an introduction, notes and glosses. The versions come from the last three centuriesfrom the time of Burns and Scott, who were among the earliest collectors, up to the present day.Although the ballads are anonymous in a way, the singers themselves determine the versions we have, by a process of selection, interpretation and refashioning. Wherever possible, this edition includes the names of the singers, many of whom were women.An internationally recognised ballad scholar, Emily Lyle is a research fellow at the School of Scottish Studies in the University of Edinburgh, and is general editor of The GriegDuncan Folk song Collection.
